8 Motor Zoom Reflector
The zoom position of the main reflector can be adjusted for focal lengths of at
least 24 mm (35 mm format). For lenses with focal lengths of 18 mm or more,
the integrated wide-angle diffuser ባ can be positioned over the main reflector
ቨ.
The following zoom positions are available:
24 - 28 - 35 - 50 - 70 - 85 - 105 (focal lengths in mm)
(corresponding to 35 mm format)
When using the wide-angle diffuser ባ the main reflector ቨ is automati-
cally moved to the 24 mm position! Because of the wide-angle diffuser,
18 mm appears on the display (see 9).
Automatic zoom adjustment
This causes the zoom position of the main mirror ቨ to automatically adjust to the
lens focal length. "AZoom" and the mirror position will then appear on the flash
unit's display panel.
Manual adjustment of the zoom position with AZoom
The zoom position of the main reflector ቨ can also be changed when the flash
unit is used with a camera capable of data transmission, in order to achieve spe-
cial lighting effects (such as hot-spot, etc.). See also 6.2.
Once saved, „MZoom“ will be indicated on the display.
Resetting to AZoom mode
• Touch the shutter release to begin a data transfer between the flash unit and
the camera.
• Continue changing the zoom position until AZoom appears on the display.

Wide-angle diffuser
With the wide angle diffuser ባ, focal lengths of 18 mm or more can be illumi-
nated (35 mm format).
Pull the wide-angle diffuser ባ out from the main reflector ቨ as far as it will go,
and then release it. The wide-angle diffuser automatically folds downwards.
The main reflector automatically moves to the required position. The distance
readings and the zoom value are corrected to 18 mm on the display panel.
The main reflector’s position cannot be changed by hand.
To insert the wide-angle diffuser ባ, turn it upwards 90° and push it all the way
in.
Mecabounce 58-90
If the mecabounce 58-90 (optional accessories, see 21) is used, the main reflec-
tor ቨ is automatically guided to the required position. The distance readings
and the zoom value are corrected to 16 (mm) on the display. The main reflector’s
position cannot be changed by hand.
